But it&#8217;s actually a really good Port, and worth thinking about as something to have on hand as the nights draw in and finishing the day with a glass of something sweet, delicious and alcoholic becomes an appealing prospect. It won a gold medal at the Decanter World Wine Awards, and a silver at the International Wine Challenge. I&#8217;d have this down as a solid silver.<\/p>\n<p>You may well be able to get it cheaper than the list price as Christmas approaches, although I suspect the major Port houses will be using their ruby reserves for the bulk of the promotional activity, and trying to spare their LBVs and above.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Graham&#8217;s LBV Port 2006<br \/>\n<\/strong>20% alcohol. Ripe, sweet blackberry and spice nose. The palate is sweet, ripe, dense and grippy with nice raspberry and blackberry fruit, as well as some subtle casky notes.
